The fine arts also provide learners with non-academic benefits such as promoting self-esteem, motivation, aesthetic awareness, cultural exposure, creativity, improved emotional expression, as well as social harmony and appreciation of diversity.

Today's Project: Where Would You Rather Be?

Project Instructions

Find 2 background images from a place that you would rather be. (ideas- beach, foreign country, sporting event, on the arm of your favorite celebrity, etc. )

Grab a partner and have them use a digital camera to take 2 photos of you, each with a different pose. Try to take your photo in an area with a solid color background (this will make editing much easier).

Click on the layer menu at the top of the page and choose openimage as new layerthen upload the photo of yourself.

Use the magic wand and eraser tools to begin clearing the background of your selfie.

After you finish removing all of the background, choose Edit (whenever you click off the image a prompt will appear asking you to save changes, click yes ONLY if you are finished), then Free Transform.

Resize and move the image until it realistically appears as part of the background image.

Choose File then Save when finished. Note- Once you save it, it can no longer be edited as separate layers.
